Holy Doors of Mercy

ALL Holy Doors around the world and the Jubilee Year of Mercy closed on November 20, 2016. Please check out our Relics & Events page to find relics available for public veneration in your areaand the rest of our site to find Catholic Pilgrimage Sites near you.

Pope Francis has announced an opportunity for Catholics to obtain a plenary indulgence during the Year of Mercy by passing through a designated Holy Door during the Year of Mercy, or performing one of the corporal or spiritual works of mercy; and fulfilling the usual conditions of having the interior disposition of complete detachment from sin, receiving sacramental Confession and the Holy Eucharist, and praying for the intentions of the Holy Father.

The Jubilee Year of Mercy commenced when Pope Francis opened the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica on December 8, 2015 and on December 13, 2015 all the Holy Doors in Cathedrals and designated churches throughout the world opened to pilgrims.

Our goal is to make it easy for you to find a Holy Door pilgrimage site near you. We will continue to update the list as we become aware of new locations. If you have a Holy Door to add to the list or a correction, please email us at CatholicPilgrim@hotmail.com.

As always, please check with the pilgrimage site directly for details before finalizing your plans.
